Question

Which diagram represents the factors of m2 – 10m + 16 ?

A 2-column table with 2 rows. First column is labeled m with entries m squared, 4 m. Second column is labeled negative 6 with entries negative 6 m, 16. First row is labeled m with entries m squared, negative 6 m. Second row is labeled 4 with entries 4 m, 16.
A 2-column table with 2 rows. First column is labeled m with entries m squared, 2 m. Second column is labeled negative 8 with entries negative 8 m, 16. First row is labeled m with entries m squared, negative 8 m. Second row is labeled 2 with entries 2 m, 16.

Answer 1

It's definitely D.

Explanation:

It's D because it has a -2m and -8m if you add them you get the -10m in the equation the m2 is already there And if you multiply -2 * -8 you'll get 16 positive, because a negative plus a negative is a positive.

Answer 2

D.

Explanation:

The last table is the correct choice. Because when you use the X method on the equation your answers from that is (m-8)(m-2).
